Nearly all of this property was designated a priority habitat of state-listed rare species, which is why Mass Audubon collaborated with public and private conservation organizations, as well as private landowners, to protect and manage this sanctuary. Wandering through pine forest on old carriage roads and deer paths, you may encounter a roosting Great Horned Owl or a wading heron at the marsh edge.
Location: Stockton Shortcut, Wareham, MA
Hours: Trails open daily, dawn to dusk

We are thrilled to share the latest progress from our saltmarsh restoration and migration project at Great Neck Wildlife Sanctuary in Wareham, as the efforts we initiated in 2022 have yielded exceptional results.
Great Neck Wildlife Sanctuary
With the help of property staff and our Regional Conservation Ecologist, this garden bed was created to focus on enhancing bird and pollinator habitat by establishing native perennials, shrubs, and flowering herbs that provide or attract resources used by birds, butterflies, and other pollinators on an area formally covered with lawn.
